How to force Americans back to work, Starve them.

In my opinion, Trump and Republican governors have decided to do this. They are attempting to cut off peoples unemployment insurance. It looks like they will not agree to sending any more financial help to people and small businesses.

Many Americans have run out of food. They cannot feed their children, pay any bills. Trump and the Republicans know this. They know this will force people back to work in order to feed their families.

Crimes Against Humanity.

... funds and don't have the months to pay out they're supposed to like Florida.

They're not just slow walking UI payments they're preventing eligible people from getting them in the first place.

fucking Mike DeWine. The original plan was to use medical supplies to blackmail the Governors. But when they figured out they were gonna be on their own they got creative and found their own supplies. Now he will try to starve them back to work. I won't be surprised if he disrupts the food supply chain to blue states next. Some bullshit about workers have to eat.
